Ingredients

2 egg whites
80 g finely grated dark chocolate
200 g ground walnuts
80 g ground almonds
220 g powdered sugar
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
0.25 tsp ground cloves
4 tbsp brown sugar
50 peeled walnut halves

Instructions

1.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until creamy, not stiff. Mix the chocolate with the nuts, powdered sugar and spices, then fold in the egg whites to form a smooth batter. If desired, stir in additional ground almonds. Shape the batter into two rolls (about 3 cm diameter), roll them in sugar, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C with upper and lower heat.
3.
Cut the rolls into 1‑cm thick slices, place on a parchment‑lined baking tray, top each slice with a walnut half, and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove, let cool, and serve.
